Fish Sauce- You can purchase fish sauce from your local supermarket. Remember, color correlates with flavor; the lighter the sauce you buy, the lighter the flavor. If you can’t find any fish sauce, 2 minced anchovy fillets combined with 2 tablespoons soy sauce. For color and bite, we added some fresh cilantro and red pepper flakes to the sauce. Cilantro becomes soapy-tasting if chopped in advance, so we recommend chopping this herb right before adding it to the sauce.

Heat vinegar, sugar, and pepper flakes in small saucepan over medium-high heat until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Off heat, stir in cilantro, fish sauce, ginger, and garlic. Rub chicken with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill over hot fire until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer to platter and brush with 1/4 cup sauce. Tent with foil and let rest 5 minutes. Serve, passing remaining sauce at table.
